Happy Memorial Day Monday! One of the things that I have loved about summer is the fashion is the fashion.  And my ABSOLUTE favorite summer frock is the Maxi Dress--not just b/c I'm almost 6 month preggers.  i love the easiness of it, how it camouflages most flaws, and can be worn in most occasions: casual Fridays (with cardigan), cocktail party, backyard BBQ, summer concert, moonlit walk on the pier, club party...and the list goes on! Here are  a few illustrations if you haven't a clue … [Read more...]

The holiday weekend has already started....are you ready?  Check out my post over at myjet247.com to get the full list of what should be included in your beauty bag.  Here's a sneak peek: 1. Sunblock of SPF 30 or higher: Just because you don’t think that you need UVA and UVB protection doesn't necessarily mean that you can skimp on this added layer of protection. Sunblock lotion is NOT suntan lotion. You will not get tanned by using this product. It actually protects your skin from … [Read more...]

Happy Monday! I sometimes love re-living my youth--through clothing, that is.  One style that I hate to admit that I love is:  jelly sandals.  I had them in almost every color as a child in the 80s.  At that time, they could be found anywhere---and my mom had no problem picking me up a new pair from a "jelly stand" while shopping in the meat section at the local Food Lion... Well, now that I'm a  little older--and about 4 feet taller--grocery store jellies just don't cut it for me … [Read more...]

Happy Monday: Get your summer workout on

Summer is coming soon--is your body ready for the beach?  If you're like me, you are working out to every fitness DVD on the market, counting calories, and getting those bodies tight....if that were me about 5 years ago.  I take it much slower now and favor quality over quantity, i.e. I don't work myself out to the point of exhaustion anymore.  <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:1; … [Read more...]

HAPPY MAN DAY...one day later...lol.... I know that haute couture is mostly marketed at the womenfolk, but men can join into the game too.  Join us in spending ridiculous amounts of moolah on beautiful shoes and clothing....that we only sometimes wear once.... Take a peek at this denim trench by Balmain for a mere $1355.  It is actually a fraction of the cost for what women usually have to pay for Balmain frocks.  Think $2000 to $5000 for mere T-shirts... If you absolutely must … [Read more...]

Have you ever had a date, it didn;t go so well, and you see the dreaded disaster date a year later?  If you run into him/her, here are a few ways that you can avoid date re-entry: 1.  Try to avoid the person completely.  Stay on your side of the room/venue/party, avoid eye contact, and leave if you become terribly uncomfortable. 2.  If you have to speak, speak to the person respectfully.  A "hello" is all that is necessary.  No need for extended conversation. 3.  If the person … [Read more...]
